I'm trying to create a structure with a fixed length char array in it see below. The field length needs to be fixed because when the structure is full it's converted to a byte array and sent to another process by an IP packet. The process on the other end need to know the length of each field so it can be decoded properly. If anyone can help or has a better idea I would appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack=1)]
public struct rec
{
public ushort MsgId; // Message Id
public double TOD; // Time of Day
public ushort Day; // Day of year
public char[] sitename;
...
...
}
